Reinforced concrete deck slabs are directly affected by traffic loads and they are also susceptible to weather-related problems, such as cracking, reinforcement corrosion, spatting, scaling, delamination, leakage, efflorescence and so on. Some of these defects are caused by water which seeps through pavements and trapped between pavements and deck slabs. For durability of reinforced concrete deck slabs and pavements, it is very important to protect deck slabs and drain the trapped water out. To develop the trapped water drainage system, the following studies have been performed in Korea Highway Cooperation: related researches a re reviewed; for six bridges, deck slabs are thoroughly investigated; new system to effectively drain the trapped water out is proposed; the proposed system is installed and evaluated. The proposed system is proved to be effective to drain the trapped water out and is expected to increase the durability of reinforced concrete deck slabs.

Long span, high-rise bridges are rapidly increasing nowadays. Because of high flexibility, such bridges are easily excited by winds, vehicles, and pedestrians. The vibration of bridge induces a vibration of lamp post and pillar. Wind loads can also excite lamp posts and traffic signal structures directly. Because of low damping, such vibrations of lamp post are frequently amplified and come to collapse or lamp failure. In addition, such vibration makes the maintenance cycle shorter and increases social cost. We conducted vibration tests and identified the dynamic characteristics of two types lamp posts, and proposed tuned mass dampers to control the vibrations. Established models of the lamp posts present the dynamic characteristics of the structures very well and they are used to design TMDs. In this study, we suggested a new-type TMD model that is small, simple, economic and effective to suppress the vibration of lamp posts. The efficiency of TMD was examined by numerically and is to be examined experimentally.

Due to the rugged terrain, metro lines in mountain city across numerous wide rivers and deep valleys, resulting in instability of high-pier bridge and insecurity of metro train under crosswind. Compared with the conditions of no-wind, crosswind triggers severer vibration of the dynamic system; compared with the short-pier viaduct, the high-pier viaduct has worse stability under crosswind. For these reasons, the running safety of the metro vehicle traveling on a high-pier viaduct under crosswind is analyzed to ensure the safe operation in metro lines in mountain cities. In this paper, a dynamic model of the metro vehicle-track-bridge system under crosswind is established, in which crosswind loads model considering the condition of wind zone are built. After that, the evaluation indices and the calculation parameters have been selected, moreover, the basic characteristics of the dynamic system with high-pier under crosswind are analyzed. On this basis, the response varies with vehicle speed and wind speed are calculated, then the corresponding safety zone is determined. The results indicate that, crosswind triggers drastic vibration to the metro vehicle and high-pier viaduct, which in turn causes running instability of the vehicle. The corresponding safety zone for metro vehicle traveling on the high-pier is proposed, and the metro traffic on the high-pier bridge under crosswind should not exceed the corresponding limited vehicle speed to ensure the running safety.

Distributed control system architecture is adopted for I&C systems of Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor, where the geographically distributed control systems are connected to centralized servers & display stations via switched Ethernet networks. TCP/IP communication plays a significant role in the successful operations of this architecture. The communication tasks at control nodes are taken care by TCP/IP offload modules; local area switched network is realized using layer-2/3 switches, which are finally connected to network interfaces of centralized servers & display stations. Safety, security, reliability, and fault tolerance of control systems used for safety-related applications of nuclear power plants is ensured by indigenous design and qualification as per guidelines laid down by regulatory authorities. In the case of commercially available components, appropriate suitability analysis is required for getting the operation clearances from regulatory authorities. This paper details the proposed approach for the suitability analysis of TCP/IP communication nodes, including control systems at the field, network switches, and servers/display stations. Development of test platform using commercially available tools and diagnostics software engineered for control nodes/display stations are described. Each TCP link behavior with impaired packets and multiple traffic loads is described, followed by benchmarking of the network switch's routing characteristics and security features.

To overcome the dilemma of the [BQ] method's inability to predict mountain tunnel support loads, this study is based on the Hoek-Brown criterion and previous results to obtain the connection equations from GSI scores to each parameter of the Hoek-Brown criterion and the link between the [BQ] scores and the GSI system. The equations were embedded in the Hoek-Brown criterion of FLAC6.0 software to obtain tunnel construction forecasts without destroying the in-situ stratigraphy. The feasibility of the secondary development of the Hoek-Brown criterion was verified through comparative analysis with field engineering measurements. If GSI > 45 with a confining pressure of less than 10 MPa, GSI has little effect on the critical softening factor while we should pay attention to the parameter of confining pressure when GSI < 45. The design values for each parameter are closer to the FLAC3D simulation results and the secondary development of the Hoek-Brown criterion meets the design objectives. If the Class V surrounding rock is thinned with shotcrete or the secondary lining is installed earlier, the secondary lining may act as the main load-bearing structure. The study may provide ideas for rapid prediction of mountainous tunnels in China.

Nowadays, traffic congestion is emerging as a major problem due to the rapid population growth and the increase in automobiles. The train is a convenient means of transportation that can efficiently solve these problems. Trains have been developed in line with human aspirations for a long time, but research on safety is still insufficient. This study aims to check safety by conducting static tests and fatigue tests on bogie frames, and to help develop bogie frames in the future. For the static test, a strain gauge was attached to the point where the local stress concentration was expected beforehand, and the result value was derived, compared with existing theories, and expressed as a Goodman diagram. In the fatigue test, a total of 10 million loads were applied over three stages, and no cracks appeared in the non-destructive test conducted after each stage. Both tests were conducted according to the strict test method of the bogie frame presented by the UIC Code. It satisfied both fatigue life and strength evaluation criteria and was judged to be a bogie frame usable for safe train production.

A collision between a ship and an offshore platform may result in structural damage and closure; therefore, damage analysis is required to ensure the platform's integrity. This paper presents a damage assessment of a three-legged jacket platform subjected to ship collisions using the industrial finite element program Bentley SACS. This study considers two ships with displacements of 2,000 and 5,000 tons and forward speeds of 2 and 6.17 meters per second. Ship collision loads are applied as a simplified point load on the center of the platform's legs at inclinations of 1/7 and 1/8; diagonal bracing is also included. The jacket platform is modelled as beam elements, with the exception of the impacted jacket members, which are modelled as nonlinear shell elements with elasto-plastic material and constant isotropic hardening to provide realistic dented behavior due to ship collision load. The structural response is investigated, including kinetic energy transfer, stress distribution, and denting damage. The simulation results revealed that the difference in leg inclination has no effect on the level of localized denting damage. However, it was discovered that a leg with a greater inclination (1/8) resists structural displacement more effectively and absorbs less kinetic energy. In this instance, the three-legged platform collapses due to the absorption of 27.30 MJ of energy. These results provide crucial insights for enhancing offshore platform resilience and safety in high-traffic maritime regions, with implications for design and collision mitigation strategies.

국내뿐만 아니라 세계적인 추세로 증가하고 있는 열차의 고속화와 대량 운송능력의 요구에 따라 열차 궤도구조의 개발은 지속적으로 발전하고 있다. 콘크리트 구조궤도인 PST는 안전성과 경제성에서 그 요구조건을 충족할 수 있는 시스템으로 개발되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 PST시스템의 각 구조부재의 거동을 분석함으로써 향후 시스템 개발 및 설계에 필요한 정보를 제공하고자 하였다. KRL-2012 열차하중과 KRC 코드에 의한 다양한 정적하중조합에 따른 응력분포 결과를 3차원 유한요소 해석을 통하여 분석하였으며, 그라우트충전층의 두께에 따른 결과 또한 제공하고자 하였다. 구조부재별로는 그라우트충전층에서 가장 큰 응력이 발생하였으며 하중조합과 두께에 따라 응력의 변화가 민감하였다. 시동하중 및 온도하중에 의해서는 KRL-2012에 의한 수직하중만 적용할 때와 비교하여 콘크리트 패널과 HSB에서 각각 3.3배, 14.1배의 발생응력이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 충전층의 두께가 20mm에서 80mm로 증가할 때 콘크리트 패널의 발생 응력은 4% 감소하지만, 충전층은 24% 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 균열의 양상은 그라우트충전층에서 인장균열이 국부적으로 발생하는 것으로 나타났다. 이와같은 결과에 따라 PST시스템 개발 시에는 수직하중 보다는 수평하중에 의한 휨 및 인장거동에 세심한 주의가 필요하며, 충전층의 두께를 40mm 이상 유지함으로써 각 구조부재의 안전성을 확보할 수 있도록 한다.

본 연구는 기존의 재하시험에 의한 계측 결과와 시험 열차 및 상시주행 열차 간의 결과 비교를 통해 주행 열차에 의한 재하시험을 검증하였다. 또한 계측된 자료로부터 정적,·동적 거동 특성을 추출하여 평가를 진행하여 재하시험의 신뢰성 검증을 위해 기존 계측자료와 열차속도, 노선 간 응답 비교, 경향분석, 충격계수 선정 및 고유진동수 분석을 통해 타당성을 입증하였다. 이를 위해 동호철교를 대상지로 적용하였으며 제안 방법의 적용성을 검증하였다. 상시 운행 열차 10대와 시험 열차를 이용하여 교량에 44개의 센서를 부착하고 재하시험 경간에 대한 변형률, 처짐 등을 계측하여 이론치와 비교분석 하였다. 분석 결과 하중의 대칭성 및 중첩성은 양호하며 정적 동적 재하시험 결과에 대한 비교 또한 양호한 것으로 나타났다. 충격계수 분석 결과 최대 실측 충격계수(0.092)가 이론충격계수(0.327)보다 작은 것으로 분석되어, 활하중에 의한 충격 영향은 양호한 것으로 판단된다. 실측 고유진동수는 최저 2.393Hz로 해석 값 2.415Hz와 비교 시 근사하게 평가되었다. 위 결과를 바탕으로 본 논문에서는 내하력 평가 시 열차의 통행 차단이 필요하지 않고, 기존의 처짐 및 응답 계측보다 계측이 용이하도록 트러스 교량구조의 응답 결과를 도출하였다. 주행 열차의 재하시험을 통해 트러스 철도 교량의 변형률 및 처짐을 측정하고 정적, 동적 거동 특성을 파악하여 응력보정을 위한 응답비 및 동적 강성을 평가할 수 있음을 보였다.

우리나라는 제한된 국토 면적에 비해 인구 밀도가 높고 그에 따른 교통량 증가로 인한 효율적인 공간 이용의 필요성이 시급하다. 이를 위해 여러 가지 지하구조물의 건설이 증가하고 있으며 그 대표적인 것이 복층터널이다. 복층터널 내에는 상, 하부차도를 구분하는 중간슬래브가 있고 이러한 중간슬래브는 차량하중 및 지진하중에 의한 동적거동을 보이게 된다. 특히 지진에 의한 응답특성은 하중의 크기도 클뿐더러 작용 메커니즘이 매우 복잡하고 이론적인 접근이 쉽지 않아 실험적 연구가 필수적이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 복층터널 중간슬래브 지지조건에 따른 지진 시 응답특성을 파악하기 위하여 실내 진동대 시험을 수행하였다. 이를 위하여 중간슬래브의 양쪽 지지단을 모두 고정, 한쪽 탄성지지, 양쪽 탄성지지의 3가지 경우로 나누어 각각 인공지진파 및 경주실지진파의 2가지 지진파를 적용하여 시험을 수행하였다. 그 결과, 양단 고정 조건에 비하여 양단 탄성지지 조건일 경우 가속도 응답이 인공지진파에서 최대 약 41%, 경주실지진파에서 최대 약 60% 감소함을 확인하였다.
